To whoever reads this, thank you. Thank you for picking up this book, flipping through its ragged pages and having the patience to bear with it. I have a story to tell and even though I am no story teller, it is important to me.
There is a truth, hidden from the eyes of the people, battles given, won and lost, forgotten with the passing of time. But not this one, I cannot let my story, our story fade away, I am too sentimental to let that happen. Too proud.
Across the many lands I visited, the paths I have taken, I felt lost. I wandered and searched for a way to remember. Something inside me told me that the way I was living was wrong, the path I had chosen wasn't my own.
Some would think me crazy if I told them this, I am not from this world. I have memories of another realm, of a previous life. Where I had a family, a job, a wife and children. The outline is there, but the details are missing, why. I was so confused, who did this to me, why was I here in this strange land, lost and alone.
I had no guiding hand to show me the way, knowing nothing about this new world I was in, I did the only thing I could, I stood up and took my first step forward. Sometimes that's all it takes.
The first town, the first people, my new friends and...enemies. A story started to unfold, suddenly there wasa light I could follow, the people beside me and those that opposed us, I knew what I had to do. A path started to appear, one that could help me bring back the memories that I lost.
We had adventures, memories in the company of those I cared about. We uncovered secrets and truths that should have stayed hidden. There is always another side to a coin, that of good and that of...evil. I wasn't ready to face that side. W e lost.
Devastated, afraid...i was afraid, so afraid. The light I was following was fading and with it hope. Knocked back down, unsure if I should stand back up.
Then I remembered I wasn't alone, the memories were still there. All my friends were still with me. I stood back up and took a step forward. Sometimes that's all it takes. There is a veil that hides the view, dark and grim, corrupting. But unmoving no.
My journey is not over, my goal is still in the horizon, I can see it now. My mind is clear and sharp, my body is a weapon that I have forged through the hardships I have faced. On my back I carry the burdens of the world and I am not afraid. My enemies fear me, they tremble at my sight, they despise my name and seek to eradicate me.
I will never stop moving forward, that is my way. Unseen to the common folk, we were warriors that fought the evil threatening these lands. This is my story, a story of a nobody.
